On October 15, 2022 the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina and the French Gael Monfilsa married couple in the professional world of tennis, announced the arrival of the little one Sky. A joy in a bitter general panorama for the mother because of the invasion of her country, which she denounced as an active part in public events opposing the Russian invasion.
He does not shake hands with Russian and Belarusian rivals, as was the case before Victoria Azarenka at this Wimbledon. Yes, he made it to world number one, Iga Swiateksupporter of the Ukrainian cause, who displays a pin with the flag of this country on his cap, but mainly organizes events to raise funds.
In the middle of the All England Club the glory this time was equal to a shocking one Svitolina. He works a miracle. Not nine months after her motherhood, having returned to tennis only in April, she is in the semifinals of Wimbledon, a round she did not successfully play in the 2019 edition, a season in which she also fell in the penultimate round of the US Open .
The Svitolina top, quarterfinalist at Roland Garros, was back sooner than anyone could have imagined. Even he, who has tickets to see his beloved singer Harry Styles in Vienna a few days ago.
She is the heroine of this Wimbledon. At age 28, number 76 in the world, he lost Iga Swiatek, 23 and no. 1, 7-5, 6-7 (5) and 6-2 in 2h.50′. He will face another unlikely protagonist in the Wimbledon semifinals, the Czech Marketa Vondrousovawho defeated the American Jessica Pegula 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.

It doesn’t seem impossible Svitolina, who entered the box with an invitation from the organization. With the same help mom Kim Clijsters won the 2009 US Open.
For swiatek, triple champion of Roland Garros, another minor disappointment at Wimbledon, fighting him. As a consolation, advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time. He couldn’t hold 5-4 and served in the first set, he reacted in the second, but the rival’s inspiration decided the third.
